    Hyogo Kobe-shi Kita-ku Arimacho 1019
    "This community space is located near the Gosho Sengen hot spring source. It is a great place to stop by for a break while visiting all the local hot springs or after hiking. You will definitely want to visit the ""onsen gallery"" on the first floor, which introduces Arima's hot springs, tourist destinations, and other attractions before exploring the area. The facility's all-purpose hall, which is free of admission, serves as a venue for irregular events including exhibitions by professional artisans, cultural classes, miniature concerts, and recitals. Users of the paid lounge on the second floor can have soba noodles delivered from the attached soba restaurant, Zenjuan."
  • Nenbutsuji Temple

    Hyogo Kobe-shi Kita-ku Arimacho 1641
    "This temple belonging to the Jodo sect of Pure Land Buddhism is located near Onsen zenji Temple and the Taiko no Yudono museum (Gokurakuji Temple). The temple's scenic elevated location is said to have been where the villa of Kita no Mandokoro (the official title of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's wife Nene) once stood. The shrine's main hall, which was constructed in 1712, is said to be the oldest building in Arima Onsen. The Temple, which is included in the Kobe Shichifukujin Meguri pilgrimage, enshrines Jurojin, one of the Seven Lucky Gods. The beautiful garden beyond the main temple building is known as ""Sarajuen"" after its large 250-year-old Japanese stewartia tree. The temple hosts a stewartia flower and single-stringed Koto (traditional Japanese string instrument) appreciation party when the tree's flowers come into full bloom in June."

    Hyogo Kobe-shi Kita-ku Arimacho 1643
    "This yakushido (temple dedicated to the Bhaisajyaguru) was established in the year 724, which marked the start of the Nara period. It is said to have been established by the priest Gyoki, who had been guided by the Bhaisajyaguru to visit Arima Onsen. The temple would later be revived by Saint Ninsai, the priest who rejuvenated Arima Onsen at the start of the Kamakura Period. Wooden statues of Gyoki and Ninsai have been enshrined on the grounds of the temple, which is known as ""Yakushi-san"" to locals. Every January 2nd the statues are ceremonially given their first bath of the year as part of a traditional celebration known as irizomeshiki."

    表参道側に有る朱色の柱に矢が刺さっており、赤い榊業が垂らされ御幣が付けられています。ここを潜ると1年間無病息災に過ごせるという綱打祭、珍しい神事と感じました。ご祭神は菅原道真公、太宰府に左遷され途中休息の折、網を巻いてその上に座ったことから網敷天満神社の名の由来となりました。奇麗な神社です。

    ねね橋近くの高台にあり、飲食店の間に山門へと続く石段がある。 727年創建の曹洞宗の寺院。本尊は阿弥陀如来。本堂は1757年築で木造瓦葺き。樹齢280年と言われるしだれ桜(イトザクラ)があり美しく花を咲かせていたが、養生のため境内は立ち入り禁止となっていた。

Hyogo prefecture stretches from the north coast to the south coast on the western end of the popular Kansai region, encompassing verdant mountains, urban beaches, and fantastic historical sights. The prefecture’s main attractions lie along the south coast at Kobe, the prefectural capital, a pretty harbor city best known for its production of the renowned Kobe beef, and Himeji, the home of Himeji Castle, one of the country’s most beautifully preserved feudal castles, perched magically atop a hill.
